they have that now, but they had a head start on EVs and then threw it all away to return to combustion, only to now pivot back.

problem is the liberal party in germany, that does everything possible to stop EVs (even more than the conservative CDU, but less than the AfD) and this party had the secretary of transport, what a coincidence. they tried theit best to redirect investment from trains to roads and car makers unwilling to produce EVs that a normal german can buy.
